May weather forecast
Ewell, FL

Temperature

Ewell's average high-temperature marks a tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) with the advent of May, closely mirroring that of the preceding month. During May nights, Ewell records an average temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Heat index

May's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: An average maximum UV index of 7 in May leads to these recommendations:
Endorse precautions and be consistent with sun safety guidelines. Preventing sunburn is paramount. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
